On the R-matrix realization of Yangians and their representations

This is a review paper on the Gelfand-Tsetlin type bases for representations of the classical Lie algebras. Different approaches to construct the original Gelfand-Tsetlin bases for representations of the general linear Lie algebra are discussed. Weight basis constructions for representations of the orthogonal and symplectic Lie algebras are reviewed. These rely on the representation theory of the B,C,D type twisted Yangians

We show that the truncation of twisted Yangians are isomorphic to finite W-algebras based on orthogonal or symplectic algebras. This isomorphism allows us to classify all the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the quoted W-algebras. We also give an R-matrix for these W-algebras, and determine their center.

The purpose of this paper is to establish a connection between various subjects such as dynamical r-matrices, Lie bialgebroids, and Lagrangian subalgebras. Our method relies on the theory of Dirac structures developed in dg-ga/9508013 and dg-ga/9611001. In particular, we give a new method of classifying dynamical r-matrices of simple Lie algebras $\frak g$, and prove that dynamical r-matrices are in one-one correspondence with certain Lagrangian subalgebras of ${\frak g}\oplu...

The Yangian double $\text{DY}_{\hbar}(\mathfrak{g}_N)$ is introduced for the classical types of $\mathfrak{g}_N=\mathfrak{o}_{2n+1}$, $\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}$, $\mathfrak{o}_{2n}$. Via the Gauss decomposition of the generator matrix, the Yangian double is given the Drinfeld presentation. In addition, bosonization of level $1$ realizations for the Yangian double $\text{DY}_{\hbar}(\mathfrak{g}_N)$ of non-simply-laced types are explicitly constructed.

Let $d$ be a positive integer. The Yangian $Y_d=Y(\mathfrak{gl}(d,\mathbb C))$ of the general linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}(d,\mathbb C)$ has countably many generators and quadratic-linear defining relations, which can be packed into a single matrix relation using the Yang matrix -- the famous RTT presentation. Alternatively, $Y_d$ can be built from certain centralizer subalgebras of the universal enveloping algebras $U(\mathfrak{gl}(N,\mathbb C))$, with the use of a limi...

We consider the classification problem for finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Yangians associated with the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras ${\frak{osp}}_{2n|2m}$ with $n\geqslant 2$. We give necessary conditions for an irreducible highest weight representation to be finite-dimensional. We conjecture that these conditions are also sufficient and prove the conjecture for a class of representations with linear highest weights. The arguments are based on a ne...

In this note, we study possible $\mathcal{R}$-matrix constructions in the context of quiver Yangians and Yang-Baxter algebras. For generalized conifolds, we also discuss the relations between the quiver Yangians and some other Yangian algebras (and $\mathcal{W}$-algebras) in literature.

We classify the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Yangians associated with the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras ${\frak{osp}}_{1|2n}$ in terms of the Drinfeld polynomials. The arguments rely on the description of the representations in the particular case $n=1$ obtained in our previous work.

We prove the equivalence of two presentations of the Yangian $Y(\mathfrak{g})$ of a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and we also show the equivalence with a third presentation when $\mathfrak{g}$ is either an orthogonal or a symplectic Lie algebra. As an application, we obtain an explicit correspondence between two versions of the classification theorem of finite-dimensional irreducible modules for orthogonal and symplectic Yangians.

We review the study of Hopf algebras, classical and quantum R-matrices, infinite-dimensional Yangian symmetries and their representations in the context of integrability for the N=4 vs AdS5xS5 correspondence.
